Training Senior Officers and Instructors
Government and Port Management SupportIt is essential for the success of the PDP that human resource development is recognized as a vitally important responsibility of senior officials in government and senior management in ports. Also that portworker training is given priority in order to assist in the process of career development and ensuring the right resources are available to satisfy the demands presented in filling job vacancies.Training must be recognized as a critical port function and assurances should be given that proper training will be provided for all employees. A campaign to promote systematic portworker training and to focus on the benefits of allocating greater resources to manpower development is an integral part of the Programme. The ILO will on request, provide further advice on portworker training schemes during the implementation phase and on the type and scale of training facilitates, equipment and other resources required. In the first stage of implementation it is important to establish the environment and conditions for portworker training. One of the primary objectives during the first stage is to explain the PDP scheme, how this fits into the ILO's technical assistance policy, and how governments and port management can contribute to improved port efficiency, portworkers' working conditions and to portworker training and career development. |

Instructors need to be trained locally and this task rests with the PDP Co-ordinator and Chief Instructors. In each location where the PDP material is introduced the PDP Co-ordinator and Chief Instructors should receive appropriate organisational, technical and pedagogical training. This training should cover the objectives, structure and content of PDP as well as the organisational, communicative and instructional skills the PDP Co-ordinators and Chief Instructors require for the training of local Instructors.
